ahh so you are one of the many that says Lebron is going to leave Cleveland this post-season, now that he has accomplished the insurmountable and brought a Championship to the accursed city? now that the Warriors have choked away in historic fashion, (most of them) instead of congratulating Cleveland say that 1) the NBA is rigged and despite Draymond Green kicking too many players in the nuts, they banned him out of nowhere for a game, just to let Cleveland have good odds on winning the next 3 games, or 2) Lebron is leaving next year anyways cuz Cleveland sux!!1
I am in the camp of
why would Lebron leave? as I pointed out earlier in this thread - he has the rest of his next 5 years absolutely made. Kyrie Irving finally established himself as a true superstar, in these Finals, by finally playing some semblance of defense. Kyrie & Kevin Love are locking into CLE for something like 5 years? LBJ can do what he wants to do, not carry the whole burden upon his shoulders, and revert back into a role-player. imagine LBJ as a role-player! amazing! it would be quite the change from him running the team/running the point guard position, as he did during Warrios VS Cavs Part 1. Lebron literally has it made in Cleveland and the front office has shown that they will do
whatever he fucking wants in regards to coaches/player personnel
LBJ is set to at the very least dominate the Eastern Conference, and at the very most appear & challenge the West in the Finals,
for the next 5 years. he can retire off in the sunset and win at least 4-5 more rings - where if were go to New York or LA, what exactly is guaranteed?
I've been a huge LBJ fan since his Akron St Vincent St Mary high school years. I have a good read on the guy. as far as I know, there are only 2 serious reasons for him leaving:
1) sure he won a ring for Cleveland, but now he wants to cement his international brand with an international team/city. this means LA, New York, or Miami (again). I could see the Lakers making a desperate mad dash for Lebron, hell, I could see
any team doing this. as much as opposing teams and their fans front the LBJ hate club, they would do literally anything to get this guy on their team (Knicks fans, I'm looking your way)
2) LBJ has always said he wants to team up with his best friends, they are - Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade (again), and Carmello Anthony. these were the guys in his same draft class. damn! the NBA fan in me absolutely creams his pants thinking of CP3 + LBJ on the same team. Wade, however is too injury-hobbled these days. Melo is Melo - he's a freakin' awesome scorer but I always thought of him as a cancer for your team. LBJ has said he would love to team up with these guys and that he would take less $$$ to do so. however, will it work? I could see it happening for the Knicks... but it's just such a long shot
anyways, it's funny to hear that this LBJ leaving narrative is what the LBJ haters have now started to cling on to. sports writers have said now that LBJ won in such insane fashion
for Cleveland that now even his haters have to finally STFU. if only. hilarious to see Golden State fans say that Cavs only won due to GS injuries and the League rigging it so Draymond was out for Game 5...
haha! where were you salty fuckers last season, when LBJ almost willed his entire team (minus his 2 superstars) to beat the high n mighty GS Warriors? many sports writers have posted a hot take that if LBJ had Kyrie & Love healthy for last year's Finals then we would be talking about the Cavs being back-to-back champions
fact is Golden State pissed off the basketball gods with their insane hubris (right before their
Fall). they called LBJ a bitch, said their team was better than "Showtime" LA Lakers, tweeted baby bottles @ Lebron, punched nuts, etc etc etc. if they just had already leant a lesson in humility, they would have not choked away an NBA Ring. but no, the Cavs had to teach them that aforementioned lesson
LBJ brought my Cavs a ring. never thought that this would actually, truly happen. if the man wants to leave, so be it. thanks for everything ~ Lebron Fan 4 Life!
